So you'll stay a while longer? Maybe drink some wine? Cool. In that case, I'll tell you. Yeah, I'll tell you all about this one episode of American Hoarder. The one nobody ain't never gonna see.

"The only plan right now is to kill everybody" Joey Jordison, drummerIgnoring every rule in the book and more besides, Slipknot are a notoriously controversial band who combine a talent for outrage with their music. Reminiscent of the outlandishness of punk, 'nu metal' has become the fastest growing area in rock, with Slipknot selling over 2 million copies of their debut album. And yet Slipknot spit, swear and risk injury night after night in their extraordinary live performances. Incredibly, their apparel of masks and boiler suits, which they refuse to remove, means that their fans still do not know what they look like. Jason Arnopp, the first British journalist to interview Slipknot face to mask, describes the transformation of the Des Moines crew into unorthodox mega stars. Featuring an introduction by the legendary Gene Simmons of Kiss, this biography will be the first published on the band either in the UK or America and will include exclusive interviews and in-depth information on the mysterious nine masked men.

Jack Sparks murió mientras escribía este libro El controvertido periodista Jack Sparks, célebre por las novelas que publica sobre sus investigaciones, decide emprender un viaje para demostrar que lo sobrenatural no existe. Durante el proceso de documentación, su irrespetuosa actitud al presenciar un exorcismo desencadena una serie de fenómenos que cualquier mente escéptica y racional encontraría del todo inexplicables. Pese a la avalancha mediática que envuelve a Sparks a partir de ese momento, nadie ha llegado a desvelar el misterio de lo sucedido tras el incidente. Hasta ahora. Los últimos días de Jack Sparks es un libro aterrador a la par que hilarante en el que Jason Arnopp da vida a un protagonista cruel, pero carismático, espejo del egocentrismo que invade el mundo moderno. Entre viajes en el tiempo, fantasmas vengativos y asesinatos de lo más sangrientos, esta trepidante narración es una pesadilla contemporánea irresistible.
